neoufo51 Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 (edited) Aruba police official: Suspect confesses to killing missing teen Saturday, June 11, 2005 Posted: 12:26 AM EDT (0426 GMT) ORANJESTAD, Aruba (CNN) -- One of three young suspects arrested Thursday in the investigation into the disappearance of an Alabama teenager has confessed to her murder, a senior police official said late Friday. The suspect has agreed to lead police to the body of 18-year-old Natalee Holloway, the police official said. Police did not say which of the three confessed. The three have been identified as brothers Satish Kalpoe, 18, and Depak Kalpoe, 21, and their friend, 17-year-old Joran Van Der Sloot, the son of a judge. The three, taken into custody early Thursday, were the last people to have reported seeing the missing woman. Police said Van Der Sloot met Holloway May 29 at the casino in the Holiday Inn where she was staying. The Mountain Brook, Alabama, resident was in Aruba with classmates celebrating their high school graduation. Later that night, Holloway went to a popular nightclub, Carlos 'N Charlie's, with about 40 of her classmates. She left around 1:30 a.m. on May 30 with the Kalpoes and Van Der Sloot, authorities said. Holly Brown, a Holloway friend who was at the club that night, said she found Van Der Sloot to be "very different." "He lied about his age, and when we went on the [Carlos 'N Charlie's] Web site, we found pictures of him there one week before at the same place, wearing the same clothes," Brown told CNN. Police said the Kalpoes and Van Der Sloot told authorities they went with Holloway to a beach after leaving the bar before taking her back to her hotel at about 2 a.m. The men claimed they visited a lighthouse on the northwestern tip of the island, which is only 19 miles long and 6 miles wide. According to police statements, the Kalpoe brothers described her as stumbling on the way into the hotel, possibly as a result of alcohol, and that a "dark-colored" man in a black T-shirt with a radio helped her. That testimony led to Sunday's arrest of Abraham Jones, 28, and Mickey John, 30, two security guards at a hotel near where Holloway was staying. But a Holiday Inn employee who has reviewed surveillance tapes from that morning said the tapes do not show any sign of Holloway. Authorities had no explanation and were looking at whether the five men have any connections to each other. The guards' attorneys maintain the two are innocent. None of the five men have been formally charged. Van Der Sloot's mother said she was confident her son had told authorities everything and that he was innocent. "He was willing to help with anything, and he had a kind of quiet resolve -- I mean he said, 'Mom, don't be upset because everything will be fine. I know I am innocent, I didn't do anything,'" Anita Van Der Sloot told CNN. "And in a very almost naive way he was very open with us, told us everything what happened," she said, adding that he has offered to speak with the Holloway family. Government officials have said solving Holloway's disappearance is a national priority on the small Caribbean island where tourism is a top industry. A massive search operation has involved authorities, family, friends and volunteers. CNN's Karl Penhaul and Rick Sanchez contributed to this report. http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/06/10/missing.teen/index.html Edited June 11, 2005 by neoufo51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoufo51 Posted June 11, 2005 Author Share Posted June 11, 2005 (edited) It looks like the Dutch kid, Van Der Sloot, was making out with her before she went missing. Natalee Holloway went to an Aruban beach and engaged in passionate kissing with a Dutch teen in a car the night she disappeared, according to testimony from two of the boy?s friends.http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8169252/ Edited June 11, 2005 by neoufo51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not certain whether there is a body anymore, but it could be a place where they had a fight These are the suspects. The one in the back is the one who was seen kissing her before she went missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AminoSC Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 I can't wait to find out what happened on that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoufo51 Posted June 11, 2005 Author Share Posted June 11, 2005 Yeah...this Van der Sloot guy looks like a really nice guy. Just from this pic, I'm positive he hurt her somehow. He looks like a spoiled lil whiny wannabe bitch. In a webpage maintained by Van der Sloot's younger brother which was viewed earlier today at Tickle dot com he listed his occupation as "Pimp." The web page is not being linked as his age is unknown and he has not been implicated in this incident. Additionally one group picture associated with the older Ven der Sloot's now gone web page was entitled "The Pimps." WHile this cultural phenomenon may not differ all that much from that of many American teenagers, it is not putting a pretty face on the tiny island of Aruba which depends almost entirely on tourism to support its economy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AminoSC Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 She prolly fell off of the lighthouse they were taking her to. She was real drunk. I just feel like these guys didn't do anything on purpose. They prolly just got scared after she accidently killed herself and ran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangbang023 Veteran Posted June 11, 2005 Veteran Share Posted June 11, 2005 Not to be a jerk or insensitive, but she was allegedly going back to a hotel with two guys. Um, did the media maybe screw up a bit painting her as this innocent angel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make it seem like these guys were possibly wanting to rape her when it was the complete opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
